The role model is China.

Democratic at the local level to elect local representatives, then a process of rising through the ranks of the governing party based on competence and delivering results.

With multidecade policies to improve the lives of the Chinese, these policies are considered from the local, regional and national aspects before being signed off. They are also constantly reviewed and revised.

China is roughly 50% state and 50% private capitalism. This allows the dynamics of competition in the private sector, but retains essential assets such as infrastructure to be managed by the government.

Through this there is an underlying stable base on which people can prosper and grow.

No liberal democracy has this stability, neoliberalism sells off state assets to put $$$ in the hands of private capitalists, and there is no guarantee of stability.

Look at Trump.

Nobody will invest in the US now. One dictator can turn on a dime, there's no consistency nor long term government strategy.

Just look at all the liberal democracies. They have been around for less than one hundred years, all are failing to deliver prosperity and stability.

Europe decided to create an unelected administration, further removing democracy from the people.

A stable socialist government is the only way to go into the future. With AI and aging populations we need socialism more than ever to redistribute the profits of capitalism to the elderly, poor, schooling and healthcare.

The US is an example of where neiliberal democracies are heading. A few wealthy people and a load of poor indebted humans struggling to get by, infrastructure crumbling because there's no profit in it, and financialisation of everything, which effectively removes democracy from the people and puts it in the hands of the wealthy.
